Swan Hunt Application Available Online

Swan hunters who are interested in applying for a 2018 license can now submit an online application through the North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s website, gf.nd.gov. Paper applications are no longer available.

North Dakota residents and nonresidents are eligible to apply. The resident swan license is $10, while the nonresident fee is $30. The deadline for applying is Aug. 15.

The statewide tundra swan hunting season is Sept. 29 - Dec. 30. A total of 2,700 licenses are available. Successful applicants will receive a tag to take one swan during the season. Since swans are classified as waterfowl, nonresidents may hunt them only during the period their nonresident waterfowl license is valid.
